6th Street

Ugh, hate those bastards. Vomit lofty patriotic bullshit all day.
– Johnny Silverhand

Born from the many veterans of the 4th Corporate War, the 6th Street is a vigilante gang which protects various neighborhoods around Night City. Members of the 6th Street are generally well-armed and heavily cybered-up with armament from their days in the field. Recently, they have been forced to move into extortion and smuggling in efforts to pay their bills. While they operate all throughout the city, the 6th Street all are welcome protectors of the Holy Angels Church.

Gang colors

6th street members usually wear combat attire, camouflage and other signifiers of the war.

Culture

I've dealt with 6th street before. We do the run, they'll transfer the cred.
– Panam Palmer to Nash

6th Street was formed by veterans of the Fourth Corporate War, who were tired of the local gangs and the helplessness of the NCPD and decided to take matters into their own hands. They gathered some equipment, refreshed themselves on their training, and then took to the streets.
The gang was created to keep thugs and hoodlums at bay, and the charismatic leaders gave people a way protect themselves and seek retribution for the damage caused by other gangs.

Source of income

6th Street's operations include robbery, extortion, and gun smuggling. The group has extensive connections with nomad groups outside of Night City.
The gang also steals and modifies cars. 6th Street have talented techies and run many garages and workshops around the city. They offer services as a combat taxi for hire, which makes them especially popular among edgerunners and mercenaries.
Despite their criminal nature, the gang is mostly tolerated by corporations and police forces, unless 6th Street gangers cause trouble outside their established turf. Military oriented corporations have customers for high-end products and the NCPD's job is made easier by the ersatz law that the gang maintains in their neighborhoods.
